Once again for the new season, the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della Rai offers the public a rich programme in the name of cultural variety, expressive vivacity and a repertoire that combines famous pages with lesser-known but fascinating works.

Opening the season will be Principal Conductor Andrés Orozco-Estrada with the monumental Mahler's Third Symphonyfirst event of a playbill that crosses eras and styles: from the romanticism of the Before Brahms at Vienna by Richard Straussthrough Šostakovič, Rachmaninov, Ravel and Respighi.

Among the most anticipated moments are the two concerts conducted by Fabio Luisione entirely dedicated to Brahms, the other with the Franz Schmidt's Fourth Symphony, in first performance in Turin.

Great expectations also for Robert Treviño with theBruckner's Eighth and for the 20th century by Schönbergas well as for the refined choices by Ottavio Dantone in the Straussian concert, which ironically reinterprets popular music and ancient dances.
